Re: Re:

Izagirre is really disappointing this Giro. What's wrong with him?

I'd completely forgotten he was in the race...

Sadly I did not. Cataldo and especially Bilbao are disappointing, too. Carretero and Pedrero, on the other hand...

The guys who won stages are disappointing?

Yes. Not every stage win is because of great shape. Sometimes average riders win stages.

Different objectives. Astana after Lopez lost tons of time turned to stage wins for a bit, and the riders they tasked with it succeeded. Cataldo is also 34 and past his best, but both him izagirre and bilbao have been in quite a lot of breakaways and let's be fair here, astana have been one of the standout teams along with movistar and have worked very well for lopez.

Re: Re:

Looks like things have calmed down a bit since I last had some info.

Not in the commentating box, apparently.

Was I feeding or vice versa?

You've had the burger and those two mushrooms.

Re:

Formolo is the only top10 missing in the peloton, right?

Indeed. Also Polanc (11th) is not there so Zakarin moves up to provisional 10th

Re: Re:

Is it just me or does Nibali look... not too good...

Yeah, looks really bad.

Still hope everything is not lost. Big effort too soon in the stage, better guys at this, very high level. From Fred Portoleau: 6.3W/kg for the last 5km Manghen for Lopez/Cara/Landa, 6.1 for Nibs/Roglic with 120 km to go.

They rode it with a very negative split.

Which is also why everything came back.

Back on yesterdays course now - in reverse.

Movistar have really Skyed up this last week of the giro

Re:

They really are a such different looking team than last year. Impressive stuff.

 

[luckyboy]

Movistar aren't pushing a very high pace like Sky/Ineos. It's just that they have the two best climbers and nobody else has enough guys to try anything big, apart from Astana.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Agreed. Movistar is where they are, by attacking. Not by sitting in a train and waiting for the others to drop.

Maybe they should ride more often without NQ and Valverde.

Not sure anyone cares but RAI reports Formolo is in a group 7 minutes behind the leaders.

Ineos boys feeding Roglic. What is happening with TJV and their supplies?

Perhaps they were hungry and ate it themselves! Or perhaps they are having a natural break?

I mean that's not the first time that has happened in this Giro

Max Sciandri says he's the one to blame.

 

[SafeBet]

Gruppetto was 26 minutes behind the leaders on top of Rolle, they should make the time cut comfortably.

 

[Laplaz]

Movistar pushing hard now.

 

[Poursuivant]

Italy is so beautiful.

Re:

Landa wants the stage.

Incoming 4th & 5th in Tour after Ineos 3 leaders

 

[Rollthedice]
